 intro
 E         B          E        F#

 1.
 E         B          E     F# 
 Birds are calling to sing along
 E      B        E       F#
 But my window's painted shut
 E            B       E      F#
 And all that year of chorus taught me
 E         B         E       F#
 Is out of style and long forgot

 chorus
 B   E     F#          B
 How can I sing like a girl,
 E   F#     B
 And not be stigmatized
 E      F#          B     E    F#
 By the rest of the world?
         B   E     F#          B    E
 Tell me how can I sing like a girl,
     F#       B
 And not be objectified
 E     F#
 As if I were a girl?

 post chorus
 D#m       G#m
 I want to raise my freak flag
 E          E
 Higher and higher and
 D#m       G#m
 I want to raise my freak flag
 E
 And never be alone
 E
 Never be alone

 2.
 E        B           E         F#
 From the watchtowers I've been spotted
 E       B           E  F#
 Fingers pointing at my mouth
 E          B        E      F#
 Spotlights turn and pivot towards me
 E     B        E      F#
 But I dare not make a sound

 chorus
 B   E     F#          B
 How can I sing like a girl,
 E   F#     B
 And not be stigmatized
 E      F#          B     E    F#
 By the rest of the world?
         B   E     F#          B    E
 Tell me how can I sing like a girl,
     F#       B
 And not be objectified
 E     F#
 As if I were a girl?

 post chorus
 D#m       G#m
 I want to raise my freak flag
 E          E
 Higher and higher and
 D#m       G#m
 I want to raise my freak flag
 E
 And never be alone
 E
 Never be alone
